JenRose Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Hello to everyone, been having a few weeks rest, and recovering from the flu which im convinced was brought on by the stresses of the last few months. Well today we received a letter from the SEN Assessment Manager, she sent us the copy of the report that the Ed Psych carried out on DS last month-she went in to do a cognitive assessment on him at the independent schools request as the ed psych who assessed him for his statement couldnt do it cos he was too anxious. Under Background info it states that DS was dx,d with an ASD by an independent psych and that the consultant psych said he scored too low for a dx of an ASD. well this is tosh cos the independent psych dx,d him as having AS and the consultant psych dx,d him with PDD. Then she says she will be using the cognitive assessment to amend and update his statement. so ive written a letter asking her to amend the background info to the correct dx,s and also told her we consider it inappropriate to amend DS statement at this time as that should be done at the annual statement review. they have also asked us to meet with the sen manager and the ed psych to discuss the report-(my complaint letter must have worked then !!!) totally totally know what they are up to, they are looking for ANY excuse to pull DS out of that school and back into mainstream, his school know it as well and told me they will fight tooth and nail for him to stay. but an IQ doesnt mean he would cope ok in a mainstream setting they have to take everything else into consideration, his high anxiety etc. oh well here we go again, at least this time im ready for them and know most of their tricks,!!!!!!!!
